2 VI. REPORTS A. Report of the Fire Chief Fire Chief Don Lombardi 1. US&R Update The sponsoring agency chiefs meeting was held following the strategic group meeting last week. They were both very productive meetings. The sponsoring agency chiefs had a recap and then broke out into divisional sections. In the divisional sections we try to get consensus on the things that we are currently doing, including using some of the smaller mission ready packages as opposed to the larger Type 1s. There was a great deal of discussion on the meeting we had with the deputy administrator concerning typing and cataloging. All the chiefs were in favor of starting to catalog and coming up with the criteria for the different types of teams including the Type 3 and Type 4 teams, and the mission ready packages. The strategic group met to put together future plans from the sponsoring agency chiefs meetings. 2. Finance Division Update a. October 2017 Financial Statements 3. Gallagher Update Mr. Mulaw distributed and reviewed the October 2017 financial statements which will be brought to the board for approval at the January meeting. Chief Lombardi will be part of a meeting on December 19 th with the Interim Committee, to begin plotting out solutions for Gallagher in lieu of what the Interim Committee put together, and in lieu of the bill the Judiciary Committee said they would pass along, which was to regionalize Gallagher. 4. Organizational Chart Discussion Jeffcom has reevaluated the contract with West Metro for IT services and has determined that they require fewer services. Because of this change, one IT position has been eliminated and an IT technician was let go. The organizational chart will be updated to reflect this change.

Chief Lombardi s 2018 Appraisal Chief Lombardi agreed to waive his right to have his appraisal reviewed in executive session. After a ten minute break to review the comments on his appraisal he expressed his appreciation for the board recognizing the accomplishments that the organization has made, and for allowing him to be somewhat of a risk taker on what we do as an organization. He is allowed to give increased responsibility to staff, which allows them to grow, and allows the organization to grow. He also noted that West Metro s accomplishments are, in part, due to the collaboration with Local We would absolutely not be able to accomplish what we do without this collaboration. It s unique, and other agencies in the fire service are envious of this relationship. He appreciates the positive comments, and will work on communication with the board.
